Sunday evening greetings!  It snowed here for about 24 hours and we have about a foot on the ground.  We’re hunkered down until the grounds crew arrives.  Could be a couple of days.

So far, you win for reporting the most snow of all my friends.

Craig guessed about 4 inches for him, but then he hadn't been out yet.  He did mention the light freezing rain all day.  Though it wasn't official at the time (it is now) he said he wouldn't be working tomorrow.

Back from the lieder recital, which was excellent - Schumann Op. 39 and a great selection of Brahms. I hadn't been to Old First Church for a concert in almost 30 years, back when the opera used to have their Schwabacher debut recital series there. It was as excellent a space for a vocal recital as I had remembered.
